Figure Drawing: Mass Study, Back and Shoulder

Year: ca 2007-2009
Conté
22" x 14”

A model sits, back to the picture plane, a few locks of hair visible at the top of the drawing. Delicate, deliberate dry washes of sanguine conté establish the figure’s mass. Contours of the left arm lock one side of the figure in space while the remaining edges fade into ground.
